WAYLAND — On April 1, Nathan Zhao, a Boy Scout from Troop 1 Cochituate, will earn the Eagle Scout rank at his Court of Honor ceremony. Zhao will join 76 other Troop 1 scouts who have earned the rank of Eagle. The Eagle Scout rank is the highest rank attainable by a Boy Scout.

The achievement involved completing several stages, or ranks, of requirements, as well as planning, directing, leading and executing a community service project for the greater community.

For his Eagle Scout Service Project, Zhao constructed a new trailhead kiosk at the Cow Common Conservation Area near the North Cemetery in Wayland. The new kiosk enables visitors to find maps, information and shelter during all seasons of the year. It replaces a 20-year-old dilapidated kiosk that could not be used.

The ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. at the Wayland Scout House, 26 Parkland Drive.
